Rick and Morty: "A Rickconvenient Mort" Team Talks Emotional Gut Punch

If there's one thing we can say about writer Rob Schrab and director Juan Meza-León's episode of Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's Rick and Morty, it's that "A Rickconvenient Mort" was much more of an emotional gut-punch than we were expecting or had gotten in quite some time. In fact, we don't remember a time when every storyline in-play offered these powerful silences that forced viewers to stay in the moment (check out our full review here). But whether you saw the episode as a blunt, tough-love argument that mankind's attempts to save the planet at this point are useless or an outing that shows signs of hope for the family dynamic, there is a ton to unpack. Thankfully, the creative team behind the episode is here to offer some help.

In the following clip, Harmon, Schrab, and Meza-León explain what makes this episode so special and offer a breakdown of how the emotional chapter came together:
